First of all I'd just
like to say to all the bands, artists and labels that have responded
to the Intravenous Magazine Compilation THANK YOU. The response has
been so great that it's shaping up to be a DOUBLE album! We have a
few spaces left before we close the entries, so if you want your band
to feature, please get in touch.

The next item on the
agenda this month is the news that this year's Infest festival may be
the last one for a while. The festival has been a staple part of the
festival calendar for the past fifteen years. We appreciate the fact
that the organisers want to take a year out from it, especially
with Alt Fest on the cards for next August. But we do hope that it is
a short break and that we don't loose such a quality even from the calendar. I'm sure the Intravenous Mag readers will join us in hoping that that they come back with another great line-up in
2015. In any case we'll have a preview of this year's festival on the
site soon.

In other news the poll
on the Intravenous Mag facebook page is still going as we
need more opinions! This first one asks the music buying public what
their favourite format is to buy, and the music makers what they sell
the most of. So please, for the sake of informed research, vote
and comment! We'll be taking it down this week and putting the next
one up which will ask “Where do you prefer to purchase music?” so please make sure you get on facebook
and let us know!

Finally, if you are
interested in writing for IVM please direct your attention to the tab
at the top of the site marked 'Writing For IVM'. Especially if you
are a film buff.
